Life Lately

SUNDAY

I have been trying to read a book per week lately. The work load has been high and finding time to read is starting to get challenging so my new routine is to read a chapter or two of whatever book I am on right before bed time. On Sunday I finally finished reading The 5 Love Languages (reviewed it here) and now I have opted for a fiction after a month or so (this).

MONDAY

Monday evening I was invited to a salon opening - Shobha!I had the pleasure to meet Shobha in-person and learn about her vision for the brand. I had previously visited their locations in NYC and DC. I am excited that the new location is in Maryland at Rockville Pike (1800 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852). Ever since I have moved from Texas, finding clean, professional and hygienic hair removal service has been a struggle. If you are on Snapchat you already saw my hand-waxing experience. My experience at Shobha was exemplary. I am impressed by their attention to detail and customer service. I am definitely going back there for my monthly waxing needs aka #HairlessHappiness.

TUESDAY

Tuesday was a standard work-from-home day. I had posts to complete, emails to reply, trips to plans and the usual. While doing it all I watched The Namesake in the background (on HBO). The first time I had seen the movie about a decade back in India and this time I saw it as am immigrant, and boy! the feelings were real. Have you seen the movie? or read the book?

WEDNESDAY

Wednesday morning I went to my first DayBreaker Party. Again, if you are on Snapchat you already saw some of the action, but if missed it press play above. DayBreaker is a pre-workout dance party where the DJ spins your favorite tunes and you dance your heart out like you would at a club, except this is in the morning and in stead of alcohol you sip fresh juices and iced-coffee (if you like): My kinda-party. Click here and see if they are in your city as well.

THURSDAY

We finished Game of Thrones till Season 4. Finale for Season Six had aired on June 26th and in less than a month, husband and I, have watched Season 1 to 4 all over again. It has been such an experience. We had forgotten so many small incidents, characters and story lines. In the beginning I had a hard time even registering the names of the characters and now five years later it is hard to remember every single death and marriage. We are so glad we watched it the second time around. We are truly able to appreciate the show 10-folds more. P.S. It is quite like watching Mahabharat. Each time to watch it, you get something more out of it.

How has your week been?If you like such content, then you would love Snapchat (username: tanviidotcom). That's where I share most of my daily happenings, events and behind-the-scenes.

I feel like I already know how most of your week went because I follow along on Snap. That Daybreaker thing was pretty cool. Did you hear that the next season of GoT is going to be only 7 or 8 episodes (probably good -- less filler episodes) and delayed until summer 2017? Hopefully will be worth the wait.

The Namesake--I've read both the book and seen the movie. Both made me cry, and reminded me so much about my parents. I've been wanting to rewatch the movie, but can't bring myself to do it! Also, I've hated GOT from the beginning, but now that you've compared it to the Mahabharat--I can see it! Maybe I'll try and take a look at it from that perspective!
